Book Reviews of The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash

Book Review: A JOY TO READ.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my favorites. The Day Jimmy's boa ate the Wash is the story of a day trip by a local group of school children to a local farm. Now let me say right now; many may think that this is a group of complete brats as the kids, through a series of incidents, pretty well trash the entire farm. This is not so. To be quite frank, the actions of these children are pretty typical of just about any fourth or fifth grade class when out on a field trip.

The story begins with a young girl, being asked by her mother how their trip went that day. The little girl responds that it was okay, but pretty boring, until the cow started crying. The story then picks up speed and becomes absolutely hilarious. We find the cow was crying because they hay fell on her, which was pushed when the farmer's tractor went out of control because it......well, as you can see this is a progressive story with one incident setting off a chain reaction which leads to complete disaster and chaos.

The story is only half of it though. The art work in this little book is completely delightful and full of detail, right down to the various expression the children's teacher displays as each incident unfolds. Some of the pictures, such as when the pigs get on the school bus and help themselves to the children's lunch or when Jimmy's pet boa visits the hen house, will most certainly bring a chuckle to just about anyone reading this one.

The whole story of course is capped off by Jimmy's Boa eating the farmer's wife's laundry right off the line.

This is a fun book to read with children and a fun book for them to just set and read themselves. The story is simple, but the way the author has it set up, coupled with the amazing illustrations, makes this one a real page turner.

Get this one and read it with your kid with joy!
